    Hi Erica,

    Congratulations on those results and thanks for such a wonderful and personal post. It made me reflect again on all of the subtle but significant changes that I have experienced since getting this monkey off my back. I hope that your post will encourage others who may be holding back a little on getting treatment to jump on in and know that it is better on the other side.

    Keep on enjoying this Hep C free life. #flower #flower

    Thank you, Coral. That is EXACTLY my hope, as well. This wasn’t even possible just a few short years ago. I figured I’d just…die from Hep C, far too early, and that would be that. My gratitude and amazement is just…I have no words. This, today, right NOW is our NEW life. There is an infinity of enjoyable experiences to be had, small and large. We’ve got some catching up to do! LET’S GO DO STUFF!!!! :)

    Hey Nitro! Congratulations!!! Yeah I JUST finished the treatment a few days ago. So so amazing. And it’s so awesome you found FixHepC. I’m very glad we both decided to keep searching to see if there was any other solution for people who don’t happen to have $84K lying around and have hep c. And now 80-some days later my virus is undetected. And soon, yours too.

    FUCK YOU, Big Pharma. Can I say that on here? Well too bad, I just did. FUCK YOU BIG PHARMA. This just became the venting thread. It feels goooooood.

    Great news on your UND and AST and ALT levels. Congratulations!!

    Thanks so much, beahavan. I’m very relieved. And I’m just eating more steaks to boost up my iron. That’s an easy handling. And it makes me feel wayyyy better. I do love steak. :)

    Brilliant news Erica! I can imagine how unbelievable it is- but as you see, that is what happens here, take the pills, wait for results which feels like forever, then it seems like it took no time at all for the miracle to happen. Enjoy.

    Hazel, it’s pure magic. It’s not hard. It’s not painful. I’m so grateful the technology has advanced to this point, and I’m grateful that Dr. Freeman saw fit to take on the goal of ridding the world of Hep C. What a saint. How lucky we all are.

    Great to see it running according to plan.

    Provided you have 0.5 of a neutrophil we are happy.

    I have a few more than that. So I guess we’re happy then. :)

    I also have Gt 4ACD and was reassured during treatment by this video on Genotype 4. At the 29:21 mark in the video he mentions that Genotype 4 is very sensitive to DAA’s.

    If I could give you a 100% cast iron guarantee I would, but I can’t, it’s all statistics.

    On the good news side, if you wanted to really dig back into the forum you will see people who failed first time up, who did not get left behind, and we got them cured on the flip side.

    At FixHepC we do run by the Marines slogan of nobody left behind.

    Well, I guess we’ll just see what things look like with my 8wk labs. :)

    Hi Erica,

    You will be having a few blood tests on treatment.

    People with haemochromatosis differ greatly in the need to bleed. For some it’s quite often, for others rarely.

    You mention the heavy feeling and many patients do seem to be able to sense when it’s time. Provided you’re checked from time to time, and bled as needs be….

    Yeah true. I’m kind of enjoying finding out so much information from blood tests. I used to be afraid of them and would rather not know. But something changed and now I’m all about confronting challenges head on. As soon as I get my insurance in November I’ll probably do more different kinds of tests, nutritional testing, gluten, etc. Maybe everything out of range was just more symptoms and side effects of Hep C. Maybe at the end of 84 days I will be a 15 year old russian athlete. Hahaha
